How to Edit The Header Lower Navbar

We have already created the main navigation section of your store. All you will need to do is populate each of the menus with the main navigation area (mega and dropdown) with your own menus, collections or links.

Please do not edit or remove the menu start or end wrapper as this will break your navigation menu.

Add A Dropdown Menu

Access your theme customizer from your Shopify Dashboard:

  1. Click Sales Channels
  2. Click Online Store
  3. Click Themes
  4. Click Customize (black button on the right hand side of the screen)

Once inside the customizer:

  1. Click the Header Lower Navbar Dropdown (menu options will appear)
  2. Scroll down to Menu Item Details

  4. Click on one of the dropdowns menus provided

  7. Enter # and save if you wish this to be a custom link (doesn’t link anywhere)
